Subject Pigeonpea
 
Description Most of the food proteins for vegetarians in the semi-arid tropics are derived
from legumes that are generally grown under low input and risk-prone marginal
environments with repeatedly low and unstable yields. At present, the protein
availability in such areas is less than one-third of its normal requirement and
with the continuously growing population and stagnation of yield, the protein
availability to the masses is likely to decline further. Since the food production
balance in most countries will always remain in favor of cereals, the issue of
protein availability assumes a greater significance from the point of view of
nutrition for the poor. This publication in two books (Part I – The science behind
the scenes; Part II – Vegetable pigeonpea recipes) covers both scientific and
nutritional aspects of the crop and provides recipes for tasty pigeonpea dishes.
